Thank you so much! Arthur/Morgana is so beautiful in its inevitable tragedy. Two people who love each other over and beyond their terrible failings and different destinies -- isn't that true love? :) I'm so glad you liked it and took the time to comment, thank you! ♥

This was gorgeous, lovely and beautiful. You have a wonderful way with words, and it fits splendidly with the whole concept of the Arthurian legends; very, very eloquent. ♥

Thank you very much! Yes, the Arthurian legends are epic and manificent and angsty but really none of it would matter without the people in it. Thanks so much for your kind words and your comment! ♥

This is brillant. Your writing style is incredible and evocative. I like this alot! My favorite is HIS HEART.

I do hope that we see much of Morgana in S3. :)

[pizzazzical]

Yes, poor Arthur and his heart :( As far as I can see this is the only reason why he could ever marry somebody else. Anyone who says that Morgana isn't an essential part of Arthur is deluding themselves. Anyone can see that they have an incredible, and IMO indissoluble bond.

Yes, I hope that Morgana kicks some serious ass in S3!!

*****SOBBBB****** THIS is how tragically beautiful the story of Arthur and Morgana can, and should be.

I kind of wish I could hate you for writing so amazingly! Seriously, you knock my socks off. I'm jealous of your way with words, BB. Every sentence you write is intense.

That she was the spirit that animated his flesh

See, like that. *goosebumps*

“You were my only weakness

GUH. *tear*

...Please write moar AMor?

Dude don't even go there. You're fantastically amazing at writing and don't you forget it! A/Mor is in the hands of the shippers now and damn, are we awesome! Making the A/Mor bible really helped me rediscover that. Long live A/Mor!!!

Lol I had a bit of an epiphany about A/Mor as I wrote this. I realised the parallels between Arthur and Uther, and now Arthur is so similar to his father. The difference is that Arthur is strong enough to rise above his heartbreak whereas Uther is trapped by it forever. And I think Morgana needed to break from him to test him, and make him realise it. I think Merlin is wonderful because of the way it puts a new spin of things from time to time ^_^ Now all that's left is to denial everything from S2 onwards...

Actually I do have some more A/Mor in progress, but shh, keep it secret ;)

Beautiful :) It was so sad, but I loved it all the same. Thanks so much for writing this; I haven't read a A/Mor fic in such a long time. &hearts

[pizzazzical]

Yes, I think you can't really have A/Mor without some sadness, which makes sense after all as Arthurian Legend is a tragedy! (Plus it's a nice change from all the sunny happy Arthur/Gwen no? :P) There's been a shocking drought in A/Mor fic lately, but what I've read is so powerful and inspirational, so I hope to get back to writing more :3 Thanks so much for reviewing! ♥
